Diamond Hotel Philippinesis featuring Filipino Food Festival this Maythat highlights genuine flavors from Pampanga prepared by renowned Chef Sau Del Rosario at its premiere dining destination Corniche. Experience Culinaria Capampangan at the buffet from May 10-19 and sample a spread of local dishes dishes from the "Culinary Capital of the Philippines".

Notable dishes that you should not miss are the Pork Sisig Foie Gras- though it was not that crunchy, it was really flavorful and sinfully good!

The Fried Catfish Fillet w/ Buru was something new to my taste buds. I love the crunchiness of the catfish that complemented the mushy and sticky texture of the Buru (fermented rice).

The Adobo, Quesong Puti & Salted Egg Pizza is another notable dish that includes three great tasting Filipino food and delicacies that gave the usual pizza a unique twist.

Of course, you should also try the Cripsy Pata Kare Kare with sauce that was creamy and nutty at the same time.

The Ox Tongue was perfectly soft and tender in thick creamy sauce that I paired with the Aligue Rice.

Another must try is theLamb Kaldereta which despite the gamey flavor from the lamb was still juicy and almost fall of the bone.

Last but certainly not the least is theBaby Lechon which I no longer need to explain why it's included in my list..Seriously, just because it is Lechon. :)

Desserts

Ube Haleya, Tibok-Tibok, Brazo de Mais, Tocillo Del Cielo

Moving on to the desserts, aside from sampling the usual desserts from Corniche-Ice cream from their ice cream bar which we managed to try all different flavors, we also tried the Capampangan desserts such as Ube Jaleya, Tibok Tibok, Tocillo del Cielo and Brazo de Mais.

My favorites were the Tocillo del Cielo and Brazo de Mais. Tocillo del Cielo is just like our regular leche flan but this was softer with a custard-like texture that melts in your mouth. On the other hand, what I love about the Brazo de Mais was the light airy texture of the meringue layer followed by the soft and rich mais custard filling.

It was truly a night to remember at Diamond Hotel's Corniche. Great tasting Filipino dishes that everyone must try. Hurry and try the Culinaria Capampangan Festival from May 10-19, 2012.

And to add more excitement, guests availing of the buffet will get a chance to win Roundtrip Airline Tickets for Two to Bohol with Accommodations!

I am really a big fan of Kapampangan food .For me .they serve the best food especially during "fiesta". All the food serves are hard to resist. The hotel food is pricey but I can try them maybe on special occasions or if it is a treat.

The photos are making me drool! As somebody who lived all her life in Manila, I'm always keen on having food that comes from other places in the country. Pampanga is one of the places that when mentioned to me, delicious food automatically comes to mind.
